And there was me trying to be gentle haha 😂 

🤣 Well at least you tried...

Shot placement was not perfect, but far from bad. And actually the .338lm didn't made it any easier since at the time I was shooting 300gr Lapua scenar bullets which are not for hunting use. I learned it the hard way. Later I switched to Berger hunting bullets that are much better. 

I had longer shots than that with similar shot placement using 6,5x55 but with Hornady 143gr eldx. Most deer droped in its tracks... In the end I have to say that the .338lm is not that much deadly than something smaller. I belive that using correct bullets is of bigger importance...

Take your time and watch the amazing bullet trace

That's 4:17 wasted.

Maybe you think so, but believe me they are not... Suppressors are legal from this week on in Slovenia and believe me that 90% of the hunters that will use them didn't know about this facts...

Barrel harmonics are real and infinitely more sensitive in incremental terms than the weight of a moderator but its good to see you at least proving this to yourself what goes on, its not hard to explore this much more deeply with not too much effort if your interested in doing so.

This is a very basic demonstration of what everyone should know but its amazing how many people dont, I think the group size and shape has changed enough to also show a change in tune. If you want to find out more conduct another test comparing no moderator, the moderator you used in this test and finally another moderator what weighs different from the first one, I expect you will see three different POI's and three different groups sizes. 

Any weight that that you add to a barrel changes its harmonics which in turn effects both tune and POI but when the changes are small enough the POI will remain the same but the groups sizes will open and close around this same same POI, then your into the world of barrel tuners and tuning barrels to a fixed load.

Well done on proving something to yourself or anyone who didnt already know what you have shown in your test. 👍

I believe you are correct. Since the weight itself acts like a tuner so different weight will act differently.

I just mounted it today. Hopefully next week we will start testing it...

I bumped into some friends who were chatting to one of the Zeiss reps at the BSS on Friday. They pointed to the 4.8-35 V8 and told me the Zeiss rep had just informed them Zeiss had limited it to 600 metres because they didn't want to endorse long range shots at animals.

Now that's a great marketing spin.....

I just think they made a big mistake. This scope could also be a good target scope, but who will use it with 5mrads?? And I don't take the excuse of 600m max, because all the other V8 models have 10mrad so it comes to 1000m+... I just think that lots of people will not go for it because of the limited 5mrad of adjustment...

Hey guys, actually the new V8 4,8-35x60 is not only limited with its 130cm of internal movement. It is even more limited with its 0,5cm clicks. The ASV LR has only 100clicks and this means that it has only 50cm of movement which equals 5MRAD... The guys at Zeiss are aware of this and they will probably release also the 1cm version with 10mrad of travel, but not for now.

We are getting one in the next days and we will make a review in a few weeks...

This is my long range hunting rifle. It is a Blaser R93 GRS in .300Win Mag. On it is a Schmidt&bender 5-25x56 PMII. I love it.

Hello, I am Thomas from Slovenia. I am a big enthusiast of long range shooting and hunting. I also love Blaser rifles and I am a dedicated handloader. Hope to contribute.
